When we try to hurt others by behaving like others to give the taste of their own medicine, we become more like them.
When we plan to give a tit-for-tat , we could indulge in activities that are against our core values and principles.
And later we suffer internally for breaking our morals and ethics in the process of taking revenge.
So while teaching a lesson to a person is important, we need to be cautious in not deviating too much from our values and standards.
